OpenAI’s ChatGPT is getting a serious update that may enable the viral chatbot to have voice conversations with users and interact using images, moving it closer to popular artificial intelligence assistants like Apple’s Siri.
The voice feature “opens doors to many creative and accessibility-focused applications,” OpenAI said in a blog post on Monday.
Similar AI services like Siri, Google voice assistant and Amazon’s Alexa are integrated with the devices they run on and are sometimes used to set alarms and reminders, and deliver information off the web.
Since its debut last 12 months, ChatGPT has been adopted by firms for a wide selection of tasks from summarizing documents to writing computer code, setting off a race amongst Big Tech firms to launch their very own offerings based on generative AI.
ChatGPT’s recent voice feature can even narrate bedtime stories, settle debates on the dinner table, and speak out loud text input from users.
The technology behind it’s getting used by Spotify for the platform’s podcasters to translate their content in numerous languages, OpenAI said.
With images support, users can take pictures of things around them and ask the chatbot to “troubleshoot why your grill won’t start, explore the contents of your fridge to plan a meal, or analyze a fancy graph for work-related data.”
Alphabet’s Google Lens is currently the favored alternative to achieve information on images.
The brand new ChatGPT features can be released for subscribers of its Plus and Enterprise plans over the subsequent two weeks.
